This page of Portals / Ephemera is primarily focused on the trains that run through Port Jervis, New York and the commuter train, Metro-North, NJ Transit, that runs from Port to Hoboken, NJ.

We have done some railfanning and consider ourselves railfans, so any time we know of a freight train or the rare James Strates Carnival Train, coming through, we try to get photos.

There are a few videos of our train trips to Hoboken and back.

Other subjects are air shows and events that we have attended. We have included photos of the WWII airplanes as well as photos from the 1st Annual New York Air Show at Stewart, Newburgh, N.Y.

I do have a link to the photography of William Roque. He focuses on corrosion and decay photography, which is surprisingly beautiful, despite it's name. He does sell some of his work, on request.

Since the trains run to Hoboken and it is an easy commute to New York City, there are links to special events, with discount tickets. If you are planning a vacation, you may want to click on these links.

Currently, Radio City Music Spectacular and the Musical Elf are running discounts.

Check out some of the fantastic items offered by WRoquephotography! Truly unique gifts available!

Elf, the movie, was a totally fun, wholesome and entertaining Christmas movie. The musical looks to be just as great. Definitely a new Christmas Classic!

Photos from The New York Airshow at Stewart, August 29, 2015

Performers are beginning to be announced for the next show, in September. The airplanes and jet planes shown, here, should be returning along with the THUNDERBIRDS!

Wings of Freedom Tour, Montgomery Airport, NY. Betty Jane, a North American P-51 Mustang was one of the featured airplanes. Wings of Freedom Tour event is put on by the Collings Foundation, a great organization that restores vintage WWII planes - airplanes like the Betty Jane! It is a very educational event. They allow walk throughs of the bombers, to let the public experience what it was like to serve in one of these impressive war planes. If you care to fly in one of these planes, they offer the experience for an additional fee.

Below is a link to the intriguing photography of William Roque. You will find him on Facebook, as well.

Below, some of the sights from the Hoboken waterfront. Hoboken is, of course, the birthplace of Frank Sinatra, and they have named one of the parks in his honor. Just a little way beyond is an interesting landmark known as Sybil's Cave.
